Yeah, it would be great to have an official list. It's also different
with libera compared to how it was set up for freenode, further
complicating things ...
When the bridge was set up for freenode, it was as easy as sending
"!join #fedora-foo" to appservice-irc and it would invite you to the
"correct" plumbed room, though on the IRC side. With Libera, that
doesn't seem to work right (yet?).
What I tried was to look at the "Fedora" space, choose the equivalent
Matrix room to the IRC room I want, and join it. Then sending
"!listrooms" to "@appservice:libera.chat" will tell you whether it is
a bridged / plumbed room or not, and which rooms are linked to it.

I think if you want to show up on the IRC side with your expected IRC
nick (for example, for IRC meetings, for zodbot to recognise you, and
for IRC rooms that are set up to only allow registered users), then
you will need to register on libera.chat and then set up that account
with "@appservice:libera.chat" ("!username foo", "!storepass bar",
"!nick baz" should do the trick, and allow you to authenticate over
SASL - at least that worked for me).

Yes, I think that's a known issue for "plumbed" rooms like "Fedora
Devel" / #fedora-devel, where there's a lot of Join / Leave messages
from the IRC side. Those rooms are quite unusable in the element web
client, and if I need to look at them, I open them in the element
Android app (which does not seem to have this performance problem),
and other Matrix clients (like Fractal) also don't seem to have that
particular issue.
